Dear Susie-- \ \ Next Sundays's Mothers' Day, and if you was in some of the cities where they live the simple life (money-getting) you'd see a most amazing sight--slick looking men wearing a white carnation each of them, and leadifig their old mothers to church. Now don't think I've got the rheumatiz same as Joshua had last week (he's some better now) but it riles me sometimes when I think of the terrible lot of machinery there is for doing good, and what a little is done %o getting thingssweeter and better and happier. It puts me in mind of the time Jane Wilkinbridge' s folks put in a dish washing machine (them having lots of company and a taking boarders, too). Well the agent said that that there machine "ud do the dishes up in short order. And it did. I most forget whether the machine was put out first or new dishes put in. It don't much matter anyway. But the Wilkinbridge folks is now great believers in hot suds and elbow grease for washing dishes. There's an old brand of respect and love for mothers that, I like a heap better than this annual parade business. It's the kind that keeps the wood box full and the water pumped and the coal and ashes carried; that makes a man stay at home of nights and keep company with the old lady that used to stay at home with us when we was babies and afraid to stay alone; that don't grudge a few dol- lars to make mother comfortable every day; that ain't ashamed of mother when there's company around; that's patient and thoughtfuy of mother when her mind is getting dim, and she's frail and fretful, that stays near by when the bands of life are slipping off and the spirit is freed from its troubles. That's the kind Jof love Jim has been giving me these years bak, and 'I know he won't need any Mother's Day to help him remember me. No there ain't nothing wrong in holding a special day in honor of mothers, but folks had oughter watch that it don't take the place of the real thing, " * There's a mighty curious streak in human nature. Folks do like to have their feelings stirred. I mind lots of missionary meetings when we was told all about the terrible times our sisters (?) in China * was having, and there would be a real weepy time, but not having our packet books with us, (being as there ain't no pockets in our new Sunday dresses), why we couldn't. cash our tears. * 'What we want ain't any more new days, or new societies, bug just to get busy and use up what we've got on hand, for.it do seem to "me that we've got enough societies in the world to make paradise right here and now. The trouble is that a whole lot of our- energy is being used up in electing officers, and hearing reports, -and going to. cone ventions, and so' forth. About the only Society I'd be willing to join right now would 3 Society for the Suppression of New, Societies, When the Old Ones Would Do. ~~ '. ~ T'mind one Spring we was terrible shot of rhubard pic, The F before we'd had some pretty good rhubard plants and had had- Them old plan;
